I have said before and I will say it again, and until I die, I AM A PROUD CANADIAN.
Today is not a day for politics or to share about my disatisfaction with our present government. Today is a day to let the world know we live in the best country in the world. We have more reasons to be proud than most Canadians know.
•We are the 2nd largest country in the world.
•We have the only military force that completed their D. Day Mission on schedule.
•We have 2 official languages.
•Toronto has been listed as the most multicultural city in the world.
•We are the most educated country in the world, with over half of our residences having a college degree.
•Montreal is the 2nd largest French speaking city in the world, after Paris.
•We are the home of the tallest totem pole in thw world, in Victoria.
•Canada has a literacy rate of 99%.
•We have braille on our currency (also Mexico, Israel, India).
•The Mall of the Americas is owned by Canadians.
•We have no Weapons of Mass Destruction as 1984, and have signed treaties repudiating their possesion.
•After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Canada declared war against the Japanese before the U.S.
•Canadian Police Services give out Positive Tickets when they see someone doing something positive.
•Americans have invaded Canada twice, in 1775 and 1812. They lost both times.
•We were the 3rd country in space. And considered to have the most advanced space program in 1962.
•The Avro.
•Our inventions, advancements and discoveries include: the telephone, baskeball, the electric range, IMAX, insulin, and stem cells.
I hope this has let people know that we are so much more than the "little brother" of the U.S.
Be Proud.
